I need some help (SV exhaust) - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

Hey guys, I just got a 2003 SVS 650, and im wondering what exhaust would be the best for sound, and horsepower?

Any.

Sorry if this doesn't help much, but HP gains will not be extraordinarily high. Just find one that you enjoy hearing all the time!

Holeshot has a great reputation and top-shelf service. You can talk with Dale directly at his forum.

if you are talking just a slip on muffler, no HP gains, the stock muffler's about as good as it needs to be with the rest of the pipes on there. most full systems will give you about 5hp. you really dont gain all too much on an SV, its pretty much set right from the factory to a pretty high tune for itself. I mean, a 650cc Vtwin that puts out 72hp (or so) and an almost flat torque peaking at 46ftlbs.... thats a good amount running compressions that work with low grade gas and still have the engine last dozens of thousands of miles.
that being said, the yoshimura pipe sounds great to me, I may be a bit biased cause I bought mine with one on it. I think most of the slip on mufflers will give you a nice sound, I doubt you'd be disapointed in any of them.

Alright. I know that 03 is FI and I am carbbed, but here is my experience on my 02. I put a yosh slip-on onto the bike. I got noticibly more torque downlow. I can really only tell in first and second. I also dropped gas mileage by about 2-3 mpg, but that can vary from tank to tank. Either way on my bike it was a noticible difference.

The Yosh pipe is loud when i want it to be and pretty mellow the rest of the time. I love the v-twin rumble. All inlines sounds like pissed off weedwackers to me. eh, just my 2 cents.

negligible gain with a bolt on , but like the other guys said you let the v-twin thump come thru with any aftermarket pipe.
